Description

Explore the historical foundations of anthropological research through the correspondence of Robert Redfield and Sol Tax. This work examines the period between 1934 and 1941, when the highlands of Guatemala transformed from largely undescribed regions into some of the most well-investigated areas for anthropological study. Through their shared and individual research, Redfield and Tax helped shape the study of peasant and urban communities globally. Their methodologies provided a framework that guided investigations in other parts of the world and helped define the major outlines of research during the 1970s. This book offers a look into the professional relationship and the academic impact of two researchers who anticipated the direction of the field. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of social sciences and the development of fieldwork practices.
